You can apply this oil neat (meaning no dilution required) to your reflex points and/or area of concern; and of course you can diffuse… especially during the Winter holidays! Aromatically it creates a feeling of grounding, anchoring, and empowerment while it can stimulate the mind and relax the body. Want to add more to your diffuser? It blends well with Lavender and Frankincense.

So just be careful because this is an FDA approved oil to be used as a Food Additive and Flavoring Agent, but it’s not recommended for ingestion by children under the age of 6. This can also create skin sensitivity… so PLEASE if you see that you are having a reaction to the oil, STOP using and consult your medical professional.

Put the Lime in the coconut and call me in the moooooorning, yes you call me in the morning!

This oil can be applied to the Vita Flex Points and/or directly on your area of concern. You can diffuse it to receive the aromatic influences and benefits. You can find this in a few of our Scrubs in Sweet + Salty and in Simple Sugar, Bath Salts, and Lip Balms.

With that being said, if you apply this oil directly, you want to avoid direct sunlight for 12 hours due to the oil being a photo-toxic and can cause photo-sensitivity. It has been regarded safe for human consumption by the FDA. You can actually dilute one drop of oil in 1 tsp honey OR 1 drop of oil in 4 oz of a beverage to use as a Dietary Supplement.

If you want to blend with other oils, they have recommended Citronella, clary sage, lavender, rosemary, and all other citrus oils (like lemon in our Limeonade scrub)!

Activated Charcoal is not what is sounds like. It’s not something you’ll throw under the grill to cook your hamburger, it’s actually a fine black powder made from refined coconuts. It’s 100% alkaline and is spinning with electrons. It has been used dated back to 450BC by Hindu’s and also by Hippocrates + Pliney, and last, but not least, it was used in WWI and was placed in the masks of soldiers to keep them from inhaling toxic chemicals.

But today, we use it to detoxify the body and skin. On the skin, it absorbs toxins that are trapped under and is great to fight acne and cellulite. It can speed up healing wounds, relieve itchiness from bites or stings, remove toxins from bites or stings, eliminates body odor from underarms, feet, and the scalp. But we’re not done yet… you can even use it as a teeth whitener or reduce/eliminate body gas!!

This ingredient is in our Green Lava and Moroccan Lava Masks. But don’t feel like you have to limit this to your face.. you can use it all over your body! Take 1 tsp of the mask powder and combine it with 1 tsp of water, rosewater, or even coconut oil and mix it together to make a paste. Then you rub it on your face and let it sit for a minimum of 10 minutes. Then wipe off with warm water and a rag. If you want to make a body mask, use the same technique of 1 tsp of mask powder to 1 tsp of your chosen ingredient and begin to put on your body working from the top down (this is a specific method to doing this, not just a suggestion). Keep it on for 10 min and then hop in the shower and rinse it off. Be sure to drink water and keep hydrated because when you are pulling out the toxins, you want to replenish with fluid!

Choose from our variety of Clay masks to cleanse and rejuvenate your face.. or body! After you wash/rinse your face, top it off with our Wake Your Face solution; made with chamomile tea and essential oils of lavender and melaleuca.

Water is a great and natural base for any solution and we use purified water (no tap water in our products)! Extra Virgin Olive Oil is loaded with nutrition and antioxidants like vitamins A and E and these can help repair skin damage from sun exposure, cigarette smoke and pollutants and helps to promote your skin’s elasticity. Sweet Almond Oil is a great emollient because it softens skin, rather than just hydrating it. It has been known to relieve dry, flaking, and itchy skin due to eczema, psoriasis and rashes and is suitable for all skin types. Grapeseed Oil contains the fatty acid, linoleic acid, this makes it a good solution to improve/cure various skin conditions, such as acne. It an also assist in preventing the pores from clogging and even contains anti-inflammatory properties. This oil has been known to stimulate biological tissues to contract and draw together, thus helping reduce swelling and helping with reducing signs of aging. It is very light and can easily be absorbed by the skin and not leave any oily residue, which also makes this great for sensitive skin. Shea butter is an all-natural vitamin A cream and has Vitamin E that is an amazing moisturizer. The Vitamin A is important for improving skin conditions such as skin allergies, insect bites, sunburns, wrinkles, blemishes, itching, eczema and more. Magnesium can increase energy and stamina by encouraging the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy packets made in the cells and that’s why they say that good magnesium levels can help you look better, feel better, and gain more energy. According to Dr. RH Waring*, Magnesium regulates the activity of over 325 enzymes, reduces inflammation, helps muscles and nerve functions, and helps to prevent artery hardening. Beeswax naturally comes from bees and is extracted, then melted, and then purified by the beekeeper; this process does not include chemical processing. It’s great for dry, rough, skin because it is good for locking in moisture, fostering cells, and protecting the skin from damage, but also offers anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral benefits. Organic Honey is a humectant, which makes it a great moisturizer. It also has High osmolality which means that the sugars interact with water in such a way that microorganisms cannot develop. In addition, when it comes in contact with wound exudates–fluids that weep from sores or ulcers–hydrogen peroxide is produced. The creation of the hydrogen peroxide can provide antibacterial benefits to ulcerated areas, which speeds healing. Stearic Acid is a fatty acid that occurs naturally in various plants and animals. You’ll find it in animal tallow, cocoa butter, and even veggies. We use it because it’s a powerful cleanser and a natural emulsifier (which means that it helps blend the oils and water) and it will thicken the products and act as a preservative to give it a longer shelf life! Essential Oils will not only give an amazing scent, but they will have properties and qualities that will do your mind and body wonders.

This products is sold in a 4 oz plastic jar and the price varies on the scent.

Natural: This does not have any Essential Oils

Pumpkin Brulee: This is the base recipe, but we pumped it up with a Pumpkin Spice Brulee Tea and Essential Oils of Cove + Ginger.

First, we may not think of this because raw honey tends to be very sticky when it goes on our skin, but honey is actually a great moisturizer! It is a humectant and it attracts moisture and keeps it in locked inside! But it’s not just for dry skin, it’s great for those who have oily skin too because it will help your skin retain the moisture and elasticity without drying it out.

Second, this ingredient is a natural antioxidant. It can protect like a natural form of sun screen and can help protect from sun damage, such as premature wrinkling. But we’re not saying don’t put on your sunscreen and lather on the honey! Look at it as being a good assistant.
*These great products assist with the sun screening

Third, honey can help promote wound healing. According to the New Zealand Dermatological Society, the chemical makeup of honey, largely sugars, has what is described as “high osmolality.” High osmolality when referring to honey means that the sugars interact with water in such a way that microorganisms cannot develop. In addition to the osmolality of honey, when the sweetener comes in contact with wound exudates—fluids that weep from sores or ulcers—hydrogen peroxide is produced. The creation of the hydrogen peroxide can provide antibacterial benefits to ulcerated areas, which speeds healing.
